Jedi Councilor / Consular - Class Progression

"The Force is not a weapon. It is a guide."

You are the talker, the sensor, the battlefield multiplier, the healer. Yoda-style, not Windu-style. In gritty the system you are *more* dangerous than Guardian at range but if someone gets past your guard you're dead in two hits.

**Sources:** Jedi Padawan/Knight/Master (Force Adcrt paths), Force Mystic, The Force Adcrt, Force Sense, Farseeing, Battle Meditation, Force Healing, Mind Trick, Force Cloak

**Primary:** AWE, PRE, INT

**Secondary:** STA, DEX

**Saves:** Will High (best in game), Fort Medium, Toughness Low

**Skills:** 6 + INT per level

**Attack:** Poor melee (0.5/lvl), Good Force (AWE/Expertise)

NERFED FOR GRITTY: Battle Meditation Is No Longer Map-Wide

Old version gave 1 mile Luck Control to everyone – that breaks gritty Hero Point economy. New version: 3 allies within 10m, once/scene, still powerful but not campaign-warping. Sage Mastery makes it passive at L10 – you earn it.

Feature Details

**Force Sensitivity (L1):** +1 Luck (reroll Force check once/scene). Ranged Detect Force 10x range.

**Expertise: The Force - Max Level+5 (L1):** You break normal skill cap (normally Level+3 = max 13 at L10, you get Level+5+3 = 9-13 at L1-8 and can exceed by +2). Can Take 10 (treat d20 as 10 when not threatened) only when calm, not in combat, not wounded.

**Deflection 6 (L2):** Same as Padawan but never grows. Requires lightsaber. Unlimited uses but you are bad at it – use cover. Guardian gets Reflect/Redirect, you don't.

**Mind Trick (L3):** Perception Ranged Affliction 4-5 (Will; Entranced, Compelled), Limited to Two Degrees, Subtle, Check Required 4. Jedi never get Controlled without falling. Must speak (until L6 Trick Master's Mercy). Vs weak-minded +2 DC if INT <=0, -5 if INT >=3 or disciplined.

**Farseeing (L3):** Senses 4. Concentration, **you become Vulnerable** (Dodge/Parry Halved) while using. DC 15 vague, DC 30 near-complete. Your party must protect you.

**Force Healing (L4):** Healing 3. Empathic (Light): you take -1 Injury per 2 heals. Standard action, Touch, removes 1 Injury per degree vs DC 10+Injuries. Fail = Strain (-1 to further Force checks this scene). This is the only fast Injury removal outside Medic 10min surgery and bacta.

**Force Cloak / Stealth (L4):**

Cloak: Concealment 8 (All Visual/Auditory/Olfactory), Check Required, 7pp. Still detectable via Force Awareness.

Stealth: Concealment 1 (The Force) – hide from Force Sight.

**Battle Meditation (L5 – NERFED FOR GRITTY):** *Old:* Burst 1 mile, all allies. *New:*

**Burst Area 10m (2pp), Selective (1pp), Luck Control 1 Bestow (Bestow Hero Point/Luck to 3 allies only) + Luck 1 (1 reroll each), Check Required 5 (Expertise: The Force DC 15), Increased Action 1 (Move), Once per scene.**

Action: Move to activate, sustain as Free. Lasts 3 rounds or until you are Staggered/Dying.

You grant 3 allies your choice +1 Luck Control (they can give away their Hero Point) and Luck 1 (one reroll). They decide when to use it.

**Cannot be spammed** – once/scene keeps Hero Point economy gritty. Old version let you blanket a battlefield with Hero Points every round.

Valor (lesser): Self-only, +3 circumstance to one stat (attack/defense/saves) for 1 round, Move, Check Req 3. No area.

**Force Rebuke (L6):** Nullify 5 (The Force), Broad. Readied action, roll Expertise: The Force vs DC 10+Power Rank to cancel. Can take Reflect extra to turn Dark powers back (requires Dark Side point to kecr).

**Force Sight (L8):** Senses 9 (Accurate, Acute, Concealment Penetrating, Radius, Ranged Mental), Check Required 2, Sustained. Works blind.

**Projective Telcrathy (L8):** Communication 2 (Mental) Area 4 (500ft), Selective.
